It does not install a menu entry or a .desktop file, but does run by clicking on vlc in /usr/bin

I'm seeing a similar problem with the Graphic menu. PETS like this one that are classified as X-GraphicUtility are no longer added to the menu. But pre-installed apps that use that category are working.

I believe that it is a woof issue because it also showed up in the final version of Precise.

The instructions you gave here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=665317#665317 almost worked. When they didn't and I tried again to start the gimp sfs via the terminal and I realized that the system was looking for the file in /usr/var/lib/dbus. So I copied the file there and it worked. I guess the following should be typed into the terminal on my system:

Sorry Mikeslr. I read the error message too quickly and my mind translated the file location to its normal location. I wonder why your installation tries to search it in /usr. That is not normal location.

Anyway...good that it works. But if it is system failure for other people, the real solution should be found.

OscarTalks. I dont think so. I think that deadbeef just does not find the icon. I believe that source code has default fall back like $prefix/deadbeef.png and since you probably had --prefix=/usr....it searches from /usr

Try this in console and the icon might be found:
gtk-update-icon-cache -qf /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Once Dpup Precise (and Slacko-5.3.7.7.4g-firefox) are loaded (which they both do without a problem) on this old Thinkpad... I no longer can take out the program CD and use any CD's with data, graphics etc., that may be required for certain projects. Also, if you get caught up in a youtube video it takes up to 5-minutes or more of access to the CD program to get cleared up again... if it clears up at all.

This is NOT a new-kernel issue as I have run Kernel-3.6.+ linux distro's on this old box without any problems.

Users with old computers that run like I do (No HDD or Frugal install... strictly from the CD with a savefile on the HDD) might want to investigate their particular setup before jumping in head over heels???

Can anyone else confirm my findings or is this an isolated situation because of my T22?

There's no question that as Puppy gets bigger, its memory requirements increase with it. The Lupu 528 SFS file is 125 MB and the latest Slacko is 151 MB. Maybe we just went over the tipping point for 256 MB of RAM.

Have you tried copying the SFS file onto the hard drive along with the save file? Then Puppy would use it instead of off the CD and maybe switch into "pfix=nocopy" mode.
